The Kingdom of Black Sabbath is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Ozzy with an even hand, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, keen interest in outer space, and astonishingly minimal parenting. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 8.592 billion Black Sabbathians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sabbat. The average income tax rate is 78.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Black Sabbathian economy, worth 837 trillion Songs a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 97,462 Songs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

One of the nation's leading exports is empty platitudes, politicians can be seen taking candy from babies, the average commuter spends four hours a day driving to and from work, and crackheads chase drug-loaded drones in hopes of a lucky drop. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Black Sabbath's national animal is the Bat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Black Sabbath is ranked 97,930th in the world and 1st in Black Sabbath for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 3,312.54 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
